Felt well enough to have a play today so i made a couple of titchy cards with a lovely Inkadinkado stamp i got from The Paperlane, lovely shop, the idea was to go for delicate so do let me know if you think i managed it,the green was stamped with Bundled Sage and i drew the ink in with a brush,added a jewel for the eye,some lace,a tag and candies.The pink was made using Tim Holtz papers as b/g and stamped with Spun Sugar ,the jewel for the eye and pearls for added embellishment, the corner is held back with a sparkly brad from my stash and a stamped tag onto one of Tims do dads,It was good to do something on a small scale.

You are the Hanged Man

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of
loss from a situation, rather than gain.

The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.
